We declare a Nature Emergency for Sheffield

We are joining the Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust in declaring a Nature Emergency for Sheffield. As they say on their webpage https://www.wildsheffield.com/naturesheffield/

As well as a climate crisis, our wildlife is facing a critical emergency.

More than 1 in 10 of over 8,000 species assessed in the 2019 State of Nature Report are at risk of extinction – with 1 in 4 UK mammal species at threat of being lost.

We will be following their campaign and taking account of the implications of the emergency in all our activities.
